WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: CVS Pharmacy, Inc. v. City of Appleton

Case No.: 2015AP876

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ

Focus: Property Tax Assessment

We are once again asked to review property tax assessments involving a national drugstore chain—this time CVS Pharmacy, Inc. The circuit court concluded that the City of Appleton’s assessments were not entitled to a presumption of correctness because the assessments violated the principles set forth in Walgreen Co. v. City of Madison (Walgreen/Madison), 2008 WI 80, 311 Wis. 2d 158, 752 N.W.2d 687, and CVS Pharmacy presented significant contrary evidence rebutting the City’s assessments. Applying the holding in Walgreen/Madison, we affirm the circuit court’s decision.
